'This has to stop': Ivanka Trump repeatedly tried to convince Trump to tell his supporters to leave the Capitol on January 6, book says excerpt: "Mark Meadows, then the White House chief of staff, would at times call her to come downstairs to get through to Trump, the book says. "I need you to come back down here," Meadows reportedly told her. "We've got to get this under control." Meadows would direct other Trump aides to leave the room, saying, "I only want Ivanka, myself and the president in here," Leonnig and Rucker wrote. One White House advisor said Ivanka "was described to me like a stable pony," the excerpt said. "When the racehorse gets too agitated, you bring the stable pony in to calm him down," the advisor was quoted as saying. GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Trump's ally, called Ivanka numerous times before she answered, the excerpt said. "You need to tell him to tell these people to leave," Graham reportedly said. "We're working on it," Ivanka responded."
Look up the "T zone" in Pennsylvania concerning Pa. politics. Folks in "the T zone" would vote for Satan if he was a REPUBLICAN. They look no further than the "Republican" straight ticket button on their voting machines. Then they bitch about how they're getting screwed by the "government" they elect themselves. The very REPUBLICAN elected officials THEY voted for aren't even defending those Pennsylvania landowners when it comes to the BIG-TIME f**king they're getting by the gas companies extracting natural gas from their lands. Landowners have complained to their REPUBLICAN elected representatives about the gas companies NOT paying the full 12% they were told they'd get as royalties, but those REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS told landowners that "their isn't enough interest and support in the State legislature to pursue action at this time." Despite this complete LACK of action on behalf of their constituents' interests concerning being ROBBED by the gas companies .............. the residents continue to vote REPUBLICAN!!!!!!!! This is only one example. How's THAT for stupidity???? Their elected officials side with the gas companies - not the landowners - and the residents vote them in AGAIN!!!!! "Well ............... I've always voted Republican ................... and I'm NOT changing." Landowners losing thousands - or hundreds of thousands of dollars - to greedy corporate gas companies ............ with NO ACTION or HELP from the very REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS the residents voted for ........... and continue to vote back in !!!!!!!!! And those same folks completely DRANK THE BIG LIE KOOL-ADE that there was massive voter fraud in Pa. - - - - which there wasn't. Ironically ( and comically ) the ONLY proven incidence of 2020 voter fraud in Pa. was committed by a REPUBLICAN who voted for his DEAD MOTHER!!!!! Hypocrisy by the loud-mouthed REPUBLICANS who continue to push THE BIG LIE. Aaaahhh ........... the Pennsylvania "T-zone" folks. Comical.
According to the book, Trump's chief of staff needed Ivanka to get through to Trump during the riot. It appears Graham had difficulty reaching Trump and Ivanka during the riot. It calls into question what Trump was doing for hours as the insurrection raged and why the situation seemed to hinge so much on Ivanka.
To think that in 2016 Trump was touted as the honest alternative to the big bad government who was going to set things straight.
Most of these insurrectionist rioters have an IQ in the single digits. As the saying goes ............... "You can't fix stupid."
He was pushed as a businessman, and his only business with the US government, has been to destroy it, which is the new republican agenda. Maybe we can sell it off in pieces.
A-B-S-O-L-U-T-E-L-Y. This bullshit of 1-party poll watching / auditing is a NO-GO. Transparency IS NOT a one-sided venture!!!!!!!
If police officer Tuck had been arrested for participated in a BLM protest instead of the Capitol riot, Trump would call for the death penality.
Trump's right-wing counterpart in Brazil has incurred health problems. Brazil's Bolsonaro says he has improved, could leave hospital on Friday excerpt: "The 66-year-old far-right former army captain, who caught COVID-19 in 2020, has gone under the knife various times since the near-fatal stabbing shortly before his election nearly three years ago. Appearing in an interview on Rede TV with his doctor, Antonio Luiz Macedo, by his bedside, Bolsonaro said he might leave Sao Paulo's Vila Nova Star hospital on Friday. Macedo said there was now less blockage in the president's intestine. In a Thursday evening statement, Vila Nova Star doctors said there was still no timeline for Bolsonaro's release but that they had removed a gastric catheter and the president was scheduled to begin eating again on Friday. In the television interview, Bolsonaro also apologized to supporters he had been due to meet in the northern city of Manaus this weekend. He had scheduled one of the motorcycle ride-alongs he has been doing in recent weeks, ahead of a likely re-election bid next year."
Brazil's Bolsonaro says he has improved, could leave hospital on Friday excerpt: "The photo, which was accompanied with text railing against his leftist opponents, led some to allege that Bolsonaro might be leveraging his condition for political gain. Many in Brazil believe the 2018 knife attack, and the widespread sympathy it engendered, was a crucial factor behind his election win. An article in the newspaper Folha de S.Paulo said Bolsonaro's hospitalization had allowed him to resurrect one of his "favorite personas ... that of the political martyr." It noted "that Bolsonaro did not invent his health condition" but that his current plight had "immediate utility" as he is "in one of the most pressing moments of his term." Bolsonaro's popularity has sagged due to his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, while senators are probing a corruption scandal over his government's purchase of vaccines. With nearly 540,000 COVID-19 fatalities, Brazil has the world's second-highest death toll from the virus after the United States."
For the current coronavirus death rates in Brazil and the U.S., Brazil will surpass the U.S. death toll in a few months.
Brad Raffensperger demands firing of Fulton County, Georgia, election officials after double-counted ballots excerpt: "There is no indication the double-counted ballots influenced the final total votes for either former President Donald Trump or President Joe Biden, though the duplicates would have given Biden 27 more votes if they were tabulated. VoterGa, a group that organized a lawsuit seeking a high-resolution re-scans of ballots and an in-person review of unsealed 147,000 absentee ballots, said duplicates are just one form of evidence in the 2020 election process that suggest fraud in the contest. “If we’re finding this in Fulton County, we’re probably going to find it throughout the state. The question is, why did it happen?” said David Cross, a member of the group contesting the election results. “The simple fact that it happened and we found it here means that it probably occurred elsewhere.” However, Carter Jones, an independent monitor of Fulton's elections, posited an election worker may have lost track of which ballots were scanned, adding that the chances of organized fraud were small."
Trump snubs Miller over voter fraud investigations. Trump snub no cause for concern, Sen. Butch Miller says excerpt: "Donald Trump released a statement Wednesday night saying he will not support Sen.

Arizona Senate president says 2020 election audit's ballot count differs from Maricopa tally excerpt: "Jack Sellers, the GOP chairman of Maricopa County’s Board of Supervisors, told the Arizona Mirror in a statement he was not surprised the state Senate's "woefully underqualified" audit team came up with a different ballot tally than the "experienced professionals" in his county’s elections department. Maricopa County officials announced last month their voting machines subpoenaed for the audit would be removed from service after Arizona's Democratic secretary of state, Katie Hobbs, threatened to decertify the equipment, citing concerns with the methods of Cyber Ninjas, a Florida-based firm hired to lead the review."
